		<description><![CDATA[Do you think your Tweetups are already fantastic?  Here's a few ways you can take them to the next level...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best things about Twitter is it&#8217;s simplicity.  It doesn&#8217;t over complicate things and that&#8217;s why we love it.  So why over complicate your Tweetups?  While putting together Tweetups of our own, we decided we were really over thinking the process and from there we built the tweetUp Theme to help us return to our simplistic ways.  Here&#8217;s 5 reasons our theme will help ou make the most of your Tweetup without racking your brain.</p>
<h4>Effortlessly keep track of who&#8217;s coming</h4>
<p>One of the biggest problems with organizing a Tweetup comes when planning for the right amount of people.  Do you have enough space?  Do you have too much?  The tweetUp Theme gives you full access to a <em>Live RSVP system</em> that takes care of everything for you.  All you have to do is login to your Wordpress admin and click on the <strong>Registration Menu</strong>.  From there, you can see the complete guest list for your Tweetup, total count and all.  It even keeps track of all your past events so you can see repeat attendees!  Talk about keeping it simple.</p>
<h4>Expand your Tweetup beyond your expectations</h4>
<p>Taking things viral is something we call hear way too often, but it&#8217;s honestly the single best way to expand your circle of reach.  The tweetUp Theme helps you do this brilliantly and effortlessly.  When users RSVP, they send out tweets informing people that they&#8217;ve just done so.  Their tweet contains a link right back to your Tweetup Site where others can learn about your event and RSVP themselves.  You can see how quickly this will get your message out, and best of all it requires no effort on your part.  None.</p>
<h4>Brand your Tweetup</h4>
<p>There&#8217;s literally thousands of Tweetups, so the chance yours is the only game in town is slim.  So how do you make your Tweetup stand out from the crowd?  Branding.  Create our own identity using The tweetUp Theme and it&#8217;s easily skinnable framework.  With most other themes, If you decide to change one thing, you run the risk of messing something else.  With The tweetUp Theme, you can change the look of your site with a single click.  When people are looking for a Tweetup in your city, do you think they are going to go to the one presented on a standard template or one with it&#8217;s own style?  The answer is obvious.</p>
<h4>Talk to your Guests and Get Organized</h4>
<p>On each event page in the tweetUp Theme there&#8217;s an area for your attendees to discuss the event.  Want to coordinate who&#8217;s bringing what?  Easy.  Are people having problems finding the location?  Give them easy to follow directions with the <strong>embedded Google Map</strong>.  Discuss and plan with your guests in one central location.</p>
<h4>Followers, Followers, Followers&#8230;</h4>
<p>So this one&#8217;s a no-brainer.  As I&#8217;m sure you already know, the more followers you have the bigger your reach.  As well as The tweetUp Theme does getting your message out on it&#8217;s own, it does something else to grow <strong>your own personal reach</strong> even further!  When someone RSVP&#8217;s they have the option to follow the account tied to your site.  So with every RSVP, you could potentially gain a follower as well <em>(this can also be turned off in the admin section)</em> .  Now next time you discuss your next Tweetup, the world will be listening!</p>
<h4>Heard Enough?</h4>
<p>There&#8217;s literally hundreds of ways The tweetUp Theme can help you, but the best way to find out is by testing it out for yourself.  You can thank us later&#8230; <img src='http://tweetuptheme.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Organizing any event can be a challenging undertaking.  First you have to find a location and get permission.  Often times this means a bar, and they will expect a certain number of people to show up.  You&#8217;ve already got pressure and you&#8217;ve just started!</p>
<p>However, the biggest challenge with any event is getting the word out and encouraging people to come.  This can be especially hard with a tweetUp since it will be the first time many people have met each other.</p>
<p>tweetUp Theme takes all the hard work out of creating a web site and promoting your tweetup.  When people register for the tweetUp, the theme software automatically sends out a tweet about the event to all their followers.  The viral nature of this kind of promotion is incredible!  Imagine being able to put your tweetUp in front of tens of thousands (or more!) of followers within the first 5 people who register.</p>
<p>With great looking skins, and easy to use features purposely designed for organizing tweetUps, the answer is obvious why you would want to save yourself time and headache by using tweetupTheme!</p>
